Yes, you do that, it's healthy
You know, I'll be frank. I left the TRC/HOLiC fandom several months ago (I wish I could say the CLAMP fandom overall, but they might do an actual good manga one day). Why? Because it's not of my taste anymore and I slowly stopped caring about characters and pairings I liked, just like that. I never said it explicitly on LJ, because I'm not an attention whore and I don't announce it when I drop a series. Not even when it was the fandom I was the most active in the past few years. Several of you still like one or both of those series, and I want to respect that even when I strongly disagree right now about the quality of these manga.
I still used to read spoilers. After all these years, and following it from their very beginning, I was slightly curious about the closure despite of my now indifference.
But you know, guys? Enough is enough. When it comes to Tsubasa, I will follow the spoilers because it's practically done and they can't ruin it more for me. And if the ending sucks, I want to read any possible wank.
When it comes to XXXHOLiC? After how much #186 physically repulsed me? THAT MANGA DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE. I will definitely stop. Several weeks ago, I stopped caring about Watanuki and everyone else, and the self-revelation broke my heart. But in this chapter, I find him so repulsive I don't even want to know what happens to him anymore. He's dead to me because I don't see him as Watanuki anymore. Bitter, serious, cynical, stoic. This is character 'development', true, but it's not interesting or healthy in the slightest, and it's squicking me out. I don't even understand how everyone is creaming their panties over this; I have a megane fetish, used to find him a cutie, and yet I wouldn't find him attractive in those kimonos and Chinese clothes at all regardless. And I'm unable to care about what's happening with Doumeki, because I can't fathom how he (and anyone, really) approves and lets Watanuki live like an asshole for years. The whole concept of a timeskip where nothing changes whatsoever is bad storytelling and it's making me sick. This finally killed it for me. And guys, this was my favorite manga. I don't recognize the manga I loved anymore.
Why am I posting this, then? I needed to let it go, I suppose. And well, I know some of you friended me back from when I was in this fandom, and you might be bearing with my other posts for that. So if you want to defriend me after all this vitriol, or because you don't care about my posts for other fandoms, go ahead 'cuz I'm fine with it ^_^
PS: If CLAMP fuck up with someone related to Clow again, especially CCS characters, let me know anyway.
PS2: It's almost funny how they just backed up my crack headcanon that Yuuko had some of Clow's clothes in the store. Because I'm convinced that outfit must be his; it just... reeked of Eriol.
